Atopic Dermatitis is a skin condition that comes and goes. A person with atopic
dermatitis reacts abnormally to irritants, environmental allergens, and food and
develops flaky and dry, red, and very itchy skin.
This skin condition tends to develop in childhood, occurring together with other
atopic diseases like asthma and hay fever.

What Causes Atopic Dermatitis?
The cause of Atopic Dermatitis is not known. It is believed to spring from a combination
of genetic and environmental factors.
Can It Be Cured?
The medical community has no cure for it, it is said that the sensitivity of the
skin will always remain to some degree. Affected people are offered treatments to
manage and minimize the symptoms of this skin condition.
Lotions, creams and ointments, moisturizers, topical steroids, and antiseptic solutions
are all commonly offered treatments.
The aim is to:
- reduce skin dryness
- reduce skin inflammation
- minimize scratching
Possible Solution:
Tests show that by drinking alkaline water and by applying strong acidic water on
affected areas of the skin, itchiness and dryness can be removed completely. And
that's without the use of any other medications.
